In this activity, students work together to create a radio show (or podcast) exploring a specific aspect of Canadian society between 1820 and 1905. This engaging activity can be completed using any voice recording software. What a fantastic way to develop subject -specific knowledge alongside digital competency!

While the workbooks focus on Lower Canada around 1820 and Quebec around 1905, the concepts of a radio show can be adapted to study any society, time period, or territoryA territory is an area of land, or sometimes of sea, that we can say "belongs".... Through this project, students focus on competency 2 and will develop their ability to interpret social change and its impact on different regions.
